Joystick and keyboard on one Retroarch remap

[Jonnieboyrevel]

Hi All

I haven't included all my details as I'm not sure they are relevant but I can do if someone thinks it will help.

Anyway, on to the issue...

I've set the Amiga up on the Puae-2021 core and most things are running well. However, some games require a keyboard key, normally 1 or f1 to start the game.

I'm running Retropie in an arcade cabinet and want things as seamless as possible.

If I set port 1 as a joystick, which the game requires, I can't set any of the buttons as keyboard keys to start the game.

Is there any way to have up, down etc... Set as a joystick but also assign a button to a keyboard key?

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jonathan

Hi All

Thought I'd put on an update to say that I've solved my own issue.

I changed the config to include a 3rd player. In the config that player shares certain keys with P1 & P2 (start, coin etc...). I can then set the first 2 players up with CD32 controllers and the 3rd player as a keyboard. As the keys are shared, I can set a mixture of controller buttons and keyboard keys to the same physical buttons.

So Far it's working really well.
